Pisses me off, this is a good book I tell my brother and he goes but Livia never killed them she was 2k miles away at the time, gotta have accuracy in a book.

Masterpiece Theater's I Claudius adapted from a written work by Graves that was taken from Tacitus and Suetonius work. It was well done with Derek Jacoby as Claudius.

Talk about a flashback. I watched a few of those Sunday afternoon episodes with my running mate, and her school teacher/Baptist church lady mother and grandmother. We would always get right before viewing. Not sure when it came out, but that was 1977-78 when we were watching it.

Currently rereading the "Oregon Files" series of books by Clive Cussler, quick, easy and entertaining.

I was an early fan of Cussler's from the get go with "Dirk Pitt". He passed away last year at 88. I hope his co-authors continue with his legacy

I didn't realize he passed away last year, very sorry to know that. Unfortunately his son can't hold a candle to his writing, I am prett sure I have all of Clive's series, I reread them from time to time, I do that with Stuart Woods, Stone Barrington series and a lot of James Pattersons stuff too. Just keep them on a bookcase in the basement and every couple of years dust them off starting with the first in the series until finished. Now that I think about it I do that with a lot of authors, Robin Hobb, I reread her stuff all the time. Same with wheel of time and sword of truth. I might need to start reading more newer stuffI was an early fan of Cussler's from the get go with "Dirk Pitt". He passed away last year at 88. I hope his co-authors continue with his legacy

I have a large digital collection that we listen to on road trips. Audio books help the road boredom go faster on a long trip. Much more intriguing than the same tunes repeated on the local stations state after state.

I found that it takes 2.5 trips to Detroit to get through 1 Harry Potter novel.

1500 miles for a comparison.
Edit:
Correction that would closer to 2600 round trips included.
